Simple Date Block

A really simple date block that outputs the current date based on how the user has their WordPress installation configured to show dates.

This is a proof of concept, and showcases use of dynamic block building and using php to render.

TODO

• Sanitize Output
• Internationalization
• Formatting / block controls
• Test in header, main, sidebar footer templates
• Add option to allow block to render in users locale, instead of site timezone

Block Editor

• Backend UI (edit.js) - Server Side render on admin, or pull from save attributes

Customize surrounding text

• Toggle "Today's Date is " on and off
• Allow custom before and after text.

Roadmap

• Allow users to set custom date format
• Styleable
• Match to theme styles
• Create JavaScript version
• Caching?
